My attempts to help Bob Orrick result in more damages, Mom works for Kia to shame Donald Trump

Bob Orrick, my father in law, was working on his house in my dream last night. I was trying to lend support by assisting in whatever way I could. Mostly, though, I was fucking things up. At one point, I was trying to get Bob to take a break so he could eat lunch. He was very skinny and looked like he could use a McRib or three. 

So I took my hammer and flung it across the street, skimming it on the pavement like I was skipping stones on a lake. This was to kind of signal that he should adopt a more casual attitude and kick off the old work boots, so to speak. Unfortunately, the hammer skidded to a stop only after crashing through a plate glass door to a neighboring bank. We went across the street to inquire about the damages. I couldn't imagine them being more than a hundred or so. 

"It will come to $1000," the lady bank manager told me. 

My heart sank. This really wasn't going well. I made promises to pay it and figured I really better buy Bob some lunch now, in order to get back in his good graces. I rounded up Harold and some other family members, and we were about to head out and take Bob out to a rib joint, but he was fast asleep on a chair by the front door. We'd have to bring him back something. Such a shame.

Later, I was having a conversation with my mom. She was working for Kia, putting her mathematical skills to work on their latest ad campaign. It was one of those "even an idiot can figure this out" kind of campaigns, similar to the Geico ads that make choosing their insurance the shamefully obvious decision. "Even Donald Trump can save money with Kia's lineup of fuel efficient economy cars" was their tag line. I could see why that would appeal to my mom. 

We were having a discussion about travel, and I kept seeing images of the greater Imperial valley, somewhere between Lake Isabella and Northern California. I was picturing a river which snaked from North to South and East to West, on which the best salmon fishing could be found, along with many scenic views of majestic canyons and sweeping hillsides with green grass, rocks and waterfalls. I was planning a trip down this river. Perhaps a Kia would be suitable, since it was quite a long trip and I'd need a fuel efficient vehicle.
